Summary
The Welfare, Health & Safety Policy outlines how British Guardianship ensures that all homestay environments are safe, compliant, and suitable for international students. The organisation follows AEGIS Quality Standards and Health & Safety Executive expectations, carrying out in‑person assessments before placement and annual reviews thereafter. Safety checks include smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, Gas Safe certification, fire safety, secure storage of hazardous items, and suitability of bedrooms and facilities. Staff record inspections, maintain an Accident Book, and complete risk assessments at every visit. Homestays must cooperate fully, report changes, and receive guidance and annual safeguarding updates.
